Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions for Black Halloween Milkshake
  1. In a blender, combine 3 cups of vanilla ice cream, 1 cup of milk, 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract, and 1 teaspoon of black gel food coloring. Blend on medium speed for about 30 seconds until smooth and creamy.
  2. Taste and adjust the thickness. If too thick, blend in an additional splash of milk; if too thin, incorporate more ice cream.
  3. Place tall glasses in the freezer for about 5–10 minutes to chill.
  4. Pour the blended mixture into the chilled glasses, filling them about three-quarters full, and top with a swirl of whipped cream.
  5. Sprinkle black and orange sprinkles over the whipped cream, followed by a layer of crushed chocolate cookies and Halloween-themed candy.
  6. Insert black straws or spoons into each milkshake and serve immediately.
